Jacksonville Sandalwood defensive end Blake McClain, who decommitted from his pledge to Florida State on Thursday, committed to Nebraska on Saturday.

McClain, who took an official visit to Lincoln this weekend, joins Sandalwood teammate DB Chris Jones as part of the 2014 Cornhuskers recruiting class, which also incudes Apopka quarterback Zack Darlington.

McClain posted to his Twitter account @BDaBoss5050 late Saturday night, "Im proud to be a part of @HuskerNation."

Thurday's decommitment was not something that will devestate the Seminoles 2014 recruiting class, which has 26 pledges heading into Wednesday's National Signing Day, but the situation was not well received by McClain's good friend and teammate Kain Daub, who was reportedly not happy with the circumstances.

Daub is already enrolled as a freshman at FSU, one of four 2014 Seminoles to enroll early.

FSU, according to Sandalwood head coach Adam Geis, wanted McClain to take a a delayed-enrollment path to FSU, which is referred to as a gray-shirt. That would allow FSU one more scholarship spot with the 2014 class and McClain's scholarship would count against the 2015 allotment.

Geis has said wherever McClain visted this weekend is where he would end up and the 'Huskers wlecome the 26th commitment to the 2014 Big Red class.

Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini and his staff are making no friends in the Sunshine State, McClain is the third commitment to the Cornhuskers from Florida who has reniged on an earlier commitment to another school. Nebraska landed a commitment from Plant City defensive end Sedrick King on Tuesday. King had been committed to UCF since last summer. McClain's Sandalwood teammate Jones was previously committed to two other schools, USF and Purdue, before he pledged to Nebraksa on Jan. 20.

Pelini and UCF head coach George O'Leary apparently ran into each other in front of UCF commit Jamiyus Pittman's Moultie, Ga., house one night this past week and the two exchanged words.

Pittman tweeted from his Twitter account @Pittcrew95, "Coach pelini and coach o'leary came at the exact same time... #fireworks#bumpinheads."
